Chapter 6: New Member Pix

"YUSKAY YURAMASHI!" Kayko yelled out angrily as Kurama, Kuabara, Hei, and Botan came walking in carrying Yuskay. "I've been up waiting for you
and you-"she stopped as soon as she realized they were carrying an
unconscious Yuskay in with them. "Ohh Yuskay!" Kayko cried out and immediately rushed over to him as they laid him down on the couch. "Wha-
what happened to him"? she asked all of them wanting an explanation and soon. Ukena and Shizuru came over worried too. "We're not sure exactly how he fainted or what could have caused it but one things for sure, he'll be conscious soon." Kurama said. Kayko went and got an ice pack. She set it on
his forehead and then put his head in her lap and started to stroke his
hair. He was sweating and shuddering. "Kuabara, do you think he'll be alright?" Ukena asked him squeezing his sleeve with her hands. He looked down at her and smiled and said "Don't worry my love, Yuramashi might be slow and dumb sometimes but he's always quick to recover"! "Hmm...okay then." Was all she thought of saying. 'I can't believe she trusts what that big ugly dumb ape says or even goes to him for comfort...its disgusting how he's
with her...I'll make him regret ever even setting his eyes on Ukena.' Hei
thought to himself with a real disgusted face on, at this point he dint even care much if Yuskay woke just that he wanted to know the stupid reason
why he fell into unconsciousness. He thought he sensed something were Yuramashi stood but it wasn't clear enough to even know if it was really anything at all. It was bugging him. Poo fluttered in through the window and looked all tired and exhausted. Poo was all ill looking and as if he
was going to puke or something. "Oh Poo!" Kayko said and putting Yuskay aside went over to grab Poo which just fainted on the floor breathing hard. She set him over by Yuskay and put an ice pack on his forehead too. "This
worries me," Shizuru said to no one in particular looking at Poo and
Yuskay. "Yes me too, in fact Genki went unconscious like Yuskay for no apparent reason, but she was taken away by some unknown creature." Kurama
had replied back with seriousness and worry in his voice. All the girls gasped at Kurama saying she was kidnapped except for Botan who was looking
quite ill her self and as if she was on the verge of tears. "What's the matter Botan, don't let what I said get you down, Yuskay will be just fine, I'm sure of it." Shizuru said to Botan with her hand on her shoulder while
searching her pocket with her other hand for a lighter to light the cigarette in her mouth. "Oh, no. Its not tha-......hmm yes I'm sure Yuskay will
be fine." She dint want to tell anyone of the death she witnessed and realized that she should focus on Yuskay now. Shizuru looked at her a while
longer, lighting her cigarette she took her hand off her shoulder and walked over to her brother Kuabara. "Yo lil bro, why dint you prevent this? What were you doing? Sitting on your fat ass like always?" she said angrily at him. "Ah...HEY..i did save his hide sort of, well I made him angry enough
to use a spirit gun! So ha ha ha ha...." He quit laughing and got all
serious. 'It doesn't matter though, Yuramashi fainted! But why? And was
that really Genki? What was that black figure thingy..uhhh...hmmm?' "Unh..ah....hmm.." Yuskay stirred, then he opened his eyes slowly. "Yuskay!" Kayko jumped up from the floor by Poo. Poo too opened his eyes but yawned
and fell back to sleep. "Uhh..wh-what happened...AH GENKI!!!!! WHERE IS
SHE!?!?" "We don't know but if you recall she looked like she too was unconscious and then taken away by a mysterious creatur-"he was cut off by
Yuskay. "THAT'S RIGHT!!!! GRANDMA'S BEEN KIDNAPPED!! THAT CREEP HE'LL PAY!!! WE'VE GOTTA FIND HER, COME ON!!!" He tried to stand up but fell back down again. "Take it easy Yuskay, I know your worried about Genki, we all are, but you need to worry about your health right now. We don't know why you went unconscious but its best if you rest a little bit longer, okay?" "Yes, besides I do believe Genki can handle herself." Kurama added. Yuskay dint argue on that but still was determined to get her back immediately. Then Kayko got in his face with her bright wide eyes full of compassion and sympathy and said, "Please Yuskay..please."? "Hmph....fine whatever." At that little conversation between them Kurama, Ukena, Kuabara, and Shizuru were all smiling. 'He'll listen to Kayko when she's worried about him like that, hmm' They all thought when they smiled briefly. "Hey what were all those smiles for huh? Huh? Huh?" Yuskay asked angrily and embarrassed. Kayko just giggled and Hei left obviously disgusted. So Yuskay and everyone went to
bed for the night. Kayko, Shizuru, and Ukena all slept in one room and Yuskay, Kuabara, and Kurama all slept in one room together. Hei preferred
to sleep outside then with them and Poo slept with Kayko since Yuskay shooed him away irritated with him always wanting to cuddle. Hei went in the forest that was near the hotel they were all staying at and stood on the tallest tree looking at the full moon. He thought he heard a wolf's cry
of some sort but just ignored it and tried to focus on the death tournament. "What do you want Kurama?" Hei asked and then Kurama came out from behind him and stood on the second highest branch to Hei's. "Well I am part fox and we foxes do like to look at the full moons not just wolf's" he said. "What's the real reason Kurama?" Hei asked getting a little annoyed
for not being alone. "Nothing really just that..well didn't u feel
something back there were Yuskay and Genki had stood before going into unconsciousness"? "Of course I did...it might have not been anything you know
that." Hei said looking at Kurama now with a serious tone in his voice. "Hmm...I guess it couldn't of have been anything, yes you could be right, but what if it was....then what Hei? You know what that type of energy could do! Hmmm..." "Kurama! Don't try to persuade me into helping Yuskay find that
old hag....hmph!" "Yes well you know as well as I do that part of our survival and excitement comes from Genki and it is the least you can do for
her..you do know that don't you Hei..? Kurama said this with a bit of a chuckle and then he stopped as did Hei glaring at him wishing for his death at that moment. "Did you hear that?" Kurama asked already knowing he did. Hei dint answer he just dashed off with super speed as did Kurama following
right after him. They both sensed that weird and unexplainable awesome power that came from that figure. Its power and energy was so great even aroused Yuskay, Kuabara, Shizuru, Botan, and Poo. They all leapt up from
their beds. Shizuru and Botan ran down the hallway into the boys room slamming the door wide open. Yuskay and Kuabara had already put on their pants and brushed past Shizuru and Botan heading towards the awesome power
and energy now flowing everywhere. Shizuru and Botan followed but then
Kuabara held her back and Yuskay put his hand on Botan's shoulder. They both stared at the girls with intensity in their eyes that Shizuru couldn't argue but Botan shook his hand off and said, "No Yuskay! I have to be there
and you know it." Yusaky shrugged but he dint approve of her coming. Shizuru slowly went back to the room to stay close by Kayko incase this or whatever it was got out of hand. She had an unsettling feeling about it all so she sat at the window and watched as it started to rain and get harder and harder. It made her feel even worse. "Kazuma, you better play it smart
this time....oh lil bro." Yuskay, Kuabara, and Botan all ran towards the direction it was coming form which was the close by forest. Not only did Yuskay sense the awesome power but also he sensed his grandmother. Hei and
Kurama stopped in the dead center of the forest in which there was a clearing. They saw Genki! "G-Genki? What is she-?" Kurama started to ask but then realized that Hei ran up to the dark figure they met earlier that
kidnapped Genki. He punched the clocked figure and missed, instead the figure just kept dodging Hei's attacks. Genki was watching all this with her hands behind her back and glaring at Hei as if he was beyond help in anyway. The figure's head which was also cloaked turned to look at Genki and she nodded at it. Then Hei tried to punch its head and it dodged and
then kicked him hard into his stomach that he spat out blood. Then the figure grabbed him by the shoulders before he could fall to the ground and though him over by Kurama. Hei rolled savagely across the grass from the
thrust and landed at Kurama's feet. Kurama knew this was a warning act
saying to stay away. He then looked at Genki questioningly. Before she could answer Yusaky, Kuabara, and Botan all showed up out of breath. "YOU
OLD HAG, WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GET YOURSELF KIDNA-". "Shut up Yuskay! And stay back by Kurama and Hei! You too Botan and Kuabara!" She then turned to go stand by the cloaked figure. They were both motionless waiting patiently and silently for whatever. Yusaky was about to interlude but then a dark figures everywhere appeared and were all clocked like the figure next to Genki. They were in the trees and below under the tress all around them.
Genki and the figure dint move at all and neither did Yuskay and the
others. Then a bigger clocked figure emerged from the trees in front of
Genki and the figure next to her, escorted by several other figures. It wore a darker clock if that was even possible. The figure flipped back its hood and took off its mask. It was demon guy. He was similar to Kurama for he was fox demon as well. He was taller then the rest and very buff. He had rippling black hair with strands of grey which seemed to look like silver
in the moon light. He had fox ears and fangs, he also had a long scar
across his face. His eyes were a deep bright yellow. He stared long and hard at Genki and the figure next to her. "So I see that you brought all of
your clan Baratoh." "Of course, I would never leave without my clan and
indeed this is a sign of honoring my daughter." He then looked to the figure next to Genki and said, "I'm only allowing this because its Genki I am leaving you with. If it was any other then you would not be here today", he paused then added, "Soldier". He had great grief and sorrow in his eyes and Kurama knew what he was saying from reading his lips. He couldn't see Genki's. but he himself was shocked for this was an ancient tribe or clan
that has still survived through all these generations. He heard of this legendary clan but never had the honor of meeting them. He wanted more then anything to go and meet the leader and king as you will of the Atrashi fox demon clan. He managed to contain himself, however Hei just awoke from his knock out from the kick of the mysterious clocked figure. He was confused and decided he better watch first before reattacking. Then Baratoh put his
hand on the figure's shoulder and smiled then they were all gone in a flash. Genki turned to the figure and said, "Welcome aboard pix. Now meet your team, team Yuramashi." Genki gestured toward Yuskay and the others.
Yuskay was dumbfounded as was Kuabara and even Botan. "This is Pix. Pix
will be joining our team for the death tournament." "WHAT!? I don't understand why you cant fight with us? I mean what, are you getting lazy you old hag!?" Yuskay shouted at Genki. He continued, "I mean this thing kidnapped yo-""No, Pix dint." Kurama said. "Kurama is right, which brings up what I needed to talk to you about. There is a certain plant that can eat on our power, energy, and even our very life force. It only does it to
my blood line. I was cursed when I was young fighter like yourself. The
curse was that plant called the Guo Plant and it drains us to nothing. Believe it or not but the one who put those cursed plants on my bloodline was this very tribe, the Atrashi Clan." "AHH, what? You mean your letting a
member from that clan who cursed us to fight with us in the death tournament!?" "Yes well there was a reason you dimwit! The reason was that
I went berserk at a time and the only way to top me was to do that very thing. Once the Guo Plant sucked from you once then you and your bloodline will always be cursed by it. As I said it was necessary and I was foolish
enough to miss I was standing in it back at Boron's cave. I went there because I was told to take out Boron before he caused any trouble." "WELL
YOU FAILED THAT MISSION HAG!!! But why did you go berserk??" "That's my business and nothing for you to worry about Yuskay. Now all of you go back and get some sleep for tomorrow you'll need the rest." On that note Botan
grabbed Yuskay and dragged him away with everyone else following except Hei. He stood their glaring at Pix with Genki getting inpatient with him said, "Hei Pix is now on your team so get over it. Your not going to beat Pix into a bloody pulp even if you tried. Now start heading back, if you don't want to rest that ain't my problem, you just better be able to fight and win tomorrow." With that Genki and pix headed off more into the forest. Hei dint follow, he now thought everything pointless except that he was to
beat Pix no matter what. He was pissed but was extremely tired from all
that happened and did need some rest so he headed back to the tree he
picked to sleep in near by the hotel.

Sorry that I haven't updated in a while and I haven been writing long
chapters but now things should start getting more interesting with Pix
around trust me. Until next time then-
